Nearby Amberley — one of the most expensive villages in West Sussex — sits just three miles away. Simply Softeners provides professional water softener installation across the area — protecting the plumbing and appliances that matter most in a premium property.

The Problem

Hard water in Arundel: 305ppm

Despite its premium setting, Arundel has hard water. At 305ppm — classified as very hard — the water supply here causes limescale accumulation in boilers, appliances, pipework and bathroom fittings at a rate significantly above the national average.

Arundel and the surrounding Arun Valley commands some of the highest property values in coastal West Sussex. The combination of architectural character, castle views and National Park proximity creates a premium market that attracts significant London buyer interest.

For premium properties, the case for a water softener is even more compelling than for standard homes. The value of the assets being protected — new kitchens, quality bathroom fittings, underfloor heating systems, high-specification appliances — is proportionally higher. And the expectations of the people living in them tend to be higher too.

  • Eliminates limescale from all plumbing — boiler, pipes, taps, showerheads
  • Protects premium kitchen and bathroom fittings from mineral damage
  • Extends the lifespan of high-specification appliances
  • Maintains boiler and underfloor heating efficiency
  • Softer water for skin, hair and general wellbeing
  • Adds a positive feature for future property buyers

Our Approach

What to expect from Simply Softeners

We don't operate a call centre or send out sales teams. When you contact Simply Softeners, you deal directly with the people who will survey your property and carry out the installation.

Every job starts with a free home survey — typically 30 minutes — where we assess your property, confirm the right unit for your household size and water hardness, and provide a written fixed price. The price we quote is the price you pay. No revisions after the survey, no additions on installation day.

Installation is completed in a single visit, typically taking 2–4 hours. We work around your schedule, leave the property tidy, and don't leave until you're satisfied and fully briefed on the system.

Frequently asked questions — Arundel

Is there a water softener specialist covering Arundel and BN18?
Yes — Simply Softeners covers Arundel, Amberley, Burpham, Walberton, Fontwell, Slindon and the wider BN18 postcode area. Free home surveys available throughout the Arun Valley. Call 07788 133 336 or book online.
Is the water hard in Arundel?
Yes — Arundel records water hardness of approximately 305ppm, classified as very hard. The town draws from the South Downs chalk aquifer, producing consistently high calcium levels that cause significant limescale damage to boilers, appliances and bathroom fittings. Nearby Amberley and the Arun Valley villages share similar hardness readings.
Do you install water softeners in period townhouses in Arundel?
Yes — the period townhouses and Georgian properties in Arundel are among the most common installation types we handle in the area. Older properties benefit particularly from a water softener as they typically have older pipework that has accumulated limescale over decades. Installation is straightforward in most period properties and makes no changes to the building's external appearance.
Can you install a water softener in a property near Amberley?
Yes — Simply Softeners covers Amberley and the surrounding Arun Valley villages as part of our West Sussex service area. Amberley's properties are among the highest-value in West Sussex and benefit from the same water softener protection as the wider area.
